The impact of PPROM is exacerbated in developing countries as a result of various factors related to the standard of healthcare provided and socioeconomic factors. Aims & Objectives: To determine the incidence and risk factors of PPROM. We also assess the obstetric and neonatal outcomes at different gestational ages. Methodology: This was a prospective study conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Bebe Nanki Mother and Child Care Centre, Guru Nanak Dev Hospital, Amritsar on the pregnant women attending the indoor or outdoor services between February 2021 and May 2022 with preterm premature rupture of membrane (PPROM). Results: Nearly 63.6%neonates had noneonatal morbidity while 36.4%had neonatalmorbidity in form of jaundice, RDS, septicemia, meningitis and hypoglycemia. Maternal outcome and Neonatal outcome at different gestational age was found to be statistically significant (p
